Bitcoin was worth about $16000 at the end of 2022, so it’s still way up compared to then.

I would have said Doom, but I think in the long run it’s Minecraft or Skyrim.

Katamari Damacy

Mercenaries

DOA 2

That’s good because a large number of demos in the Next Fest had goofy AI logos.

And this should only apply to things Acer sells directly. If Amazon or Target import Acer products they are the ones that pay the tariff, not Acer.

There is fun to be had there. IIRC the gameplay and UI had some annoying parts. Like I don’t think there was any way to keep a favorite weapon after a mission.

That doesn’t sound good.

It didn’t bother me I was just sightseeing old FC5 locations and shooting bad guys.

I liked New Dawn more than I thought I would, played coop.

I get into one of the Epic giveaway games sometimes but the launcher always feels like an obstacle rather than an asset. It’s not software I enjoy using.

I read that games with ads were already banned from Steam a long time ago. That explains why we don’t have more junk in the Steam store. Judging by how many never completed early access asset flip games there are, it would be a complete cesspool with ad-supported games. Good decision by Valve.

As others have said, play Civ 5. Better game with all the bugs worked out, and cheaper.

I put it off for a long time but I enjoyed it co-op. It was relatively short, the antagonists weren’t that compelling or even very present in the story, but I felt like it was greater than the sum of it’s parts and I enjoyed re-visiting Far Cry 5 locations with post-apocalypse appearances. Like “Hey, here is the island where you started FC5” and “Hey, here is the gas station at the rural intersection where you had to steal the truck.”

YMMV but as a long time mod installer I find the UI of Vortex more confusing than manually modding most games. But if the UI clicks with you then yeah it would be a lot easier than manual.

Yes, you got me there. Forgot about New Dawn even though I finally played it for the first time a couple months ago.

Forza Horizon lol

Also Far Cry. No story connection between the games although there is one minor recurring character.

Maybe Spiderman one will get cheaper

I guess they don’t want it to be profitable then. Maybe over the next 10 years it will break even on Epic.

I don’t think it’s coop. I would have played it coop if it was.

Because I like to see the art that the game artists made, not AI interpretation of what should be in-between the frames. I’m not hung up on framerate, as long as it’s stable and above 30 I’m good.

Also Sniper Elite 4 and 5, and The Saboteur. The Saboteur has boobies and we can all agree on boobies.

It’s great they’re still supporting the game but fake frames are of no interest to me.

I didn’t know Origin was still a thing. I’m still sore they bought Origin (Ultima, Wing Commander) and turned it into… a download service.

There is no likely scenario in which I would pay $2,000 for a video card.

Guess their free giveaways kinda work as a promotion then.

I’m cheap, once I get the game free somewhere I take it off my Steam wishlist.

I like Heroic but it doesn’t always help. I spent hours yesterday trying to get the Hot Wheels game working and never did get it working in game mode, only desktop.

I too have basically all of them. A few have caught my interest on PC. More than a few were a big pain to get working on Steam Deck even with Heroic Launcher.

Sweeney’s attitude doesn’t make me want to ever ever buy anything from modern Epic Games, but I will claim free stuff.

Always knew it was a good idea to dodge the Nvidia app. Everything running in the background can affect performance. I got by on low end hardware for years because I had an optimized system.

Sorry commenting is not optional.

As long as you realize you don’t have to eat and the time constraints aren’t as tough as it first seems.

We all figured that. The question is will there be any additional single player content.

Yes I don’t like enemies that spawn. Especially in a single player game I think a world where everything gets created with the game world and stays that way is very interesting. Of course it’s good if events can change the sandbox, like if you don’t deal with a goblin camp near the village then they raid the village later.

If he has no new ideas for consoles that’s why he’s a former boss.

Free game, China, kernel level anticheat. Risky for a PC with any personal or sensitive data on it.

This seems like such a nothing case. Steam is optional. It’s optional for publishers to use, it’s optional for users to install. Steam provides many many benefits for even free games or games not purchased on the Steam store.

Any publisher can publish their game on their own site, on other stores, on physical media. Even though Steam is dominant, you can buy games somewhere else as easily as you can download and install Steam itself.

I hope this case gets thrown out.

I thought that deal was long gone already, at least for previous subscribers. I used to cancel and the resubscribe for $1 over and over.

Good lord they make beautiful games but are such idiots.

Whew, gotta be in the mood for a challenge though!

Project Zombiod and about to buy Portal Knights.
